I should probably play the sax instead, which is my real band instrument. But I happen to like the brass instruments, they are so much fun at the moment. I might do a recording of "Happy Birthday" for tuba and three saxes. And a trombone playing the melody. And I'd play all the instruments.

Years ago we did the Monday song, which turned out to be a greatastonishing fun project. With Matthew as the lyricist and solo singer. When will a.cc turn 20?

That's a stupid way of putting it. It should read "The preferences of the average of all Americans". One should never talk about one single individual in these cases. Too many people in general have this stupid attitude that "Makes no sense to vote. My vote doesn't count almost at all." The attitude is the attitude of a spoilt child. And if that article really focused on the fact that a majority of voters has no impact on politics (which really is alarming), they should not use the phrases of a spoilt child.

I don't think there'll be any "bouncing" involved. It will work the same as it does in the business world. The executives give themselves millions in "bonuses" for a job well done while declaring bankruptcy and abandoning the "company", leaving the "workers" to fend for themselves with what's left (nothing).

It's more likely that the development boards would have an exceptional timeout, but isn't the timeout 2 weeks? The latter thread is only like 9 days old, and though the first looks to be about an hour over 2 weeks, it might not actually lock until midnight UTC or something.
